Chapter 1417 The Last Resort
The following day, in a bid to save time, Roxanna decided to send an email to Chloe. She was gearing up to have a
discussion with Isaac, as the execution of their plan would be mutually beneficial.
Once the email was successfully sent, Roxanna glanced at the clock. She had scheduled a meeting at the coffee
shop located beneath the Quill Corporation building at 3 p.m.
When she noticed that time was ticking away, she swiftly gathered her belongings, straightened her attire, and
exited the medical base. This time, she was resolute in her mission to convince Isaac.
In a corner, an employee watched Roxanna's departure in silence.
Roxanna arrived at the agreed-upon coffee shop. Rumor had it that this coffee shop was also a part of the Quill
Corporation. Therefore, many employees frequented it for a coffee break.
Perhaps due to her previous visit to Isaac's office, her entrance into the coffee shop drew the attention of many.

to him.
She glanced at a message on her phone. It was a room number sent by Isaac, and she quickly located the private
room following the provided directions.
When she made it there, she briefly paused at the door, not entering immediately. Instead, she took a deep breath
as she felt an unexpected wave of nervousness.
"What are you doing standing at the door? Aren't you going in?"
A familiar voice echoed from behind. Roxanna spun around to face Isaac, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
How could Isaac be standing here? Had he witnessed all her actions?
"Um, I was about to knock."
She hastily feigned nonchalance and responded softly.
At that moment, she realized that her acting skills seemed to be improving as she had somehow become a natural
at fibbing.
"Go in. There's no need to knock. It's just us on this floor."
Isaac didn't call Roxanna out on her lie. He merely smirked as he brushed past her shoulder, and opened the door
to the private room.
Roxanna entered the private room, her head bowed as if resigned to her fate. She was grappling with how to
broach the subject with Isaac.
In truth, when she scheduled the meeting with him, she hadn't fully thought things through. She knew Isaac had the
capability. Nonetheless, she hadn't considered whether he would have the time to listen to her.
She had merely intended to broach the subject casually but was taken aback when Isaac agreed immediately.
Moreover, he had set the time and place without hesitation.
This left her somewhat bewildered. Yet, since the meeting was already set in stone, she had no choice but to give it
a shot. On her way there, she had briefly organized her thoughts, but now...

looked like treats that girls would enjoy.
"Go ahead, Miss Miller. You were so eager to call me this morning for just one thing. Just say what you need to say.
Our companies are closely cooperating now, so there's no need to beat around the bush."
Isaac looked at Roxanna, his hands folded. When he saw the clear worry on her face, he began to wonder what
could make her so anxious.
Roxanna took a deep breath, silently bolstering her courage.
"Here's the thing, Isaac. Currently, our medical base is looking to expand its scale and accelerate the project's
progress. The location has been selected, and everything is in place. Now, what we lack is manpower."
Isaac nodded as he listened, but he didn't interrupt her. He simply waited for her to continue.
He knew that something that could make her so anxious and eager to find him wouldn't be a trivial matter.
She paused for a moment when she noticed that Isaac's expression remained unchanged. Then, she continued,
"We need substantial funds to recruit foreign talents and repatriate some talents that have gone abroad.
Unfortunately, the base is in a critical phase at the moment and does not have sufficient funds. We hope you would
consider investing."
